Chapter 1174 Mrs. Jia’s amazing assist!
Jiayin saw that she had a bad look on her face. After bowing to each other and taking their seats, Jiayin asked, "Have you heard any rumors?"
Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then said with a wry smile, "You are so smart, girl! I thought you didn't know, because I thought you were scared, so I hurriedly came to report the news. I didn't expect you already knew it!"
"Although I know a little, it is yesterday's news after all." Jiayin poured herbal tea for Mrs. Liu and said with a wry smile, "Mother, what did you hear again today? Is it difficult?"
Old Mrs. Li also took Mrs. Liu's hand and urged, "Hurry up and tell me, is someone targeting our Fu Niuer again?"
Mrs. Liu nodded and responded, "My housekeeper got up early and went out to do some shopping. He heard someone say that the princess is blessed with great fortune and has the ability to turn good fortune into good fortune in times of adversity. Broken Gold Beach was originally a wasteland, but after it became the fiefdom of the princess, it became a cornucopia.
“Now that there is a severe drought, the Broken Gold Beach is also full of green. It’s all the princess who is protecting her. If the princess is willing to offer sacrifices, there will definitely be rain from the sky..."
“Fart!” Old Mrs. Li was so angry that she slapped her hand on the table, then picked up the screwdriver for making shoes. Veins popped out on the back of her hand when she pinched it, but she didn’t know who to seek revenge from!
"The Broken Gold Beach was renovated by the young and old of our village. What does it have to do with Fu Niu'er! Also, from the beginning of spring to now, everyone in the village has carried water for irrigation, so that the fruits, vegetables and crops have not died from drought! Are they blind? , can’t you see?”
Mrs. Liu sighed and comforted, "Auntie, it's not like no one knows these things. But so what if you know!
“Now the drought is severe, the food production has been cut off, and the refugees are besieging the city. Everyone is afraid, and they want to find an excuse to vent their anger. Especially Broken Gold Beach, the lush green is really eye-catching, so it is targeted.
"But don't worry too much. This kind of sacrifice has never had good results since ancient times. But no one with a clear mind will agree. It's just a few shouts from ignorant people."
Old Mrs. Li sighed, if it wasn't serious, how could Mrs. Liu come to remind her personally.
That said, I don’t want her to worry.
"No, Fu Niu'er must go to Quanzhou immediately. We can't stay any longer." Mrs. Li was very determined and did not give her granddaughter any room for negotiation.
"The Queen passed away earlier, so we were delayed. Now that the matter of praying for rain has not been decided, leave quickly. Even if you really offer a sacrifice, you will not be found."
Jiayin had been thinking about it last night. It was really safe to leave, but it was troublesome wherever he was in the world.
Furthermore, she left, leaving behind her grandma and second uncle, as well as the young and old in Suijintan, and even the adoptive father and father who have not returned, who may all be affected.
Only facing the problem head-on and solving the problem is fundamental.
Can’t say, for the time being she just needs to delay.
“Grandma, my second uncle is investigating. Once we have the exact information, it won’t be too late for us to make a decision.”
"You..." Old Mrs. Li felt extremely distressed, and her eyes were red.
In the past ten years, life was comfortable and relaxed, but this year it felt like something had been knocked over, and nothing was right.
Mrs. Liu also followed suit. While they were talking, Mrs. Xing also came to visit.
Everyone met again and sat down. Without Mrs. Xing saying anything, everyone guessed her purpose, and their expressions became even worse.
It seems that the rumors are fermenting much faster than they expected.
Mrs. Xing originally wanted to be more tactful and remind everyone in the Li family.
Seeing this attitude, she also knew that the matter was more serious than she thought.
Old Mrs. Li didn't want everyone to worry about her, so she encouraged everyone to enjoy her hardships.
"Our family has offended many people over the years, and there is definitely no shortage of people who add insult to injury at this time. But you guys coming here like this, I think, are more of a help in times of need!"
Everyone laughed and encouraged him one after another.
“Don’t worry, Auntie, this matter has not been concluded yet.”
“That’s right, the princess is naturally smart and will definitely be lucky in times of trouble.”
"Besides, the Northern Expeditionary Army will be back soon. Even if you want to do something, you should be careful about the swords in the hands of the Marquis and the Fourth General."
After talking like this for a while, it was already noon. The good news was being prepared and lunch was being prepared, but everyone refused to stay.
At the time of pulling, Mrs. Jia Er arrived in a hurry.
It turns out that she also heard rumors from her mother-in-law in the morning, but compared to Mrs. Liu and Mrs. Xing, she is more tough.
She took her mother-in-law and boys directly out of the back door and arrested all the people who were talking in the streets.
There is no need to beat or scold, just a little bit of intimidation and you can find out the source of the gossip.
It turns out that he is a second-rate man, who usually just drinks and fools around, and the neighbors around him are annoying him.
He is also very knowledgeable and never gets close to others.
But this time, I don’t know what happened, but I actually made the neighbors gossip about praying for rain.
The words of this blessed girl’s sacrifice were also preached by him!
Mrs. Jia Er was also decisive. At that time, she arrested this scoundrel on the pretext of throwing something away. Now he is gagged and **** in the carriage outside the door.
No one expected her to move so quickly, so they praised her so much that she burst into laughter.
Jiayin directly asked the family manager to take over and sent the second son to the relief department.
The second uncle led people to investigate. This second scoundrel might be a breakthrough.
After lunch, Mrs. Xing and others went back.
Mrs. Li waited countless times and finally got Li Lao Er and Jia An back at dusk, followed by Liu Zhiheng.
After dinner, everyone chatted together.
Unsurprisingly, this message about the lucky girl offering sacrifices to pray for rain was indeed deliberately dispersed by some ruffians.
Someone paid them money to hire them, so the rumors spread so quickly.
The person behind this is the shopkeeper of a small shop, but the shopkeeper has some relationship with Mrs. Dingbeihou.
The shopkeeper’s wife is a distant cousin of the Jiao family!
At this time, let alone coincidence, as long as it is related.
Because the Li family didn't want to file a lawsuit, they just wanted to find out whether the one in the palace had made up his mind and ignored the past relationship!
The result... made everyone feel cold!
Li Laoer insisted, "Fu Niu'er should pack up quickly and leave Xindu as soon as possible."
Liu Zhiheng also said, "Yes, aunt, let's go together. This city is really unbearable! The man in the palace is like a tiger that is about to die of illness. He wants to take a bite of everyone he sees. He has completely lost his mind."
The good news is that he objected, "If it doesn't work, I can't leave yet!"
“We must go!” Jia An was anxious and rarely spoke loudly to his sister.
"If something happens to you, no one in the family will be able to live a good life in the future! We have to leave. I will inform Zheng Feng immediately. The boat is waiting in Jiangchazi."
Jiayin quickly hugged her brother's arm, pulled him to sit down, and patiently persuaded him, "Brother, listen to me. This matter is not that simple!"
"No matter what, you have to go!" Jia'an gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought about his sister being sacrificed.
